Hello,

I am Mindy, 42 years old, and have been longing to learn to play the
piano forever. Problem is I have no idea where to start. Is it best
to buy an electronic keyboard or rent a piano? One aspect I like about
the electronic keyboards and digital pianos is that you can play
silently with headphones, so I could practice any time regardless of
what else is going on in the house.

I've been told repeatedly by musical friends that it is very important
to find an instructor with experience teaching adults. What are the
right questions to ask an instructor to find out if they really have
experience teaching adults?

Any advice you can offer would be appreciated.
